New Korean Diet Craze: Brown Eggs and Milk

Korean Brown Boiled Eggs (황토랑)

According to my ajumma (older married woman) friend, women these days are doing a high protein diet of brown eggs and milk. The protein in the egg and the milk are supposed to help suppress the appetite. I'm sure that it might work, but I would get board of this diet fairly quickly.

The eggs are brown because they are boiled in fine silt soil (loess). These eggs were actually gotten at a Korean Sauna (Jjimjilbang). They tasted great (especially with salt) and with milk, I guess it would make a fine snack (but not a meal).
